This week we discuss the election in Portugal and the anti-democratic actions of the Portuguese president who has refused to recognize the results. We also discuss the rise of the far left and new right in Europe, and what this means for European politics and organizing. The conversation also touches on the latest developments in the war in Syria, and other regional issues. All this and much more in this hour-long weekly conversation.
